Christina Ruiz and Samantha Mantteoni, the stylish women of San Francisco, took photo’s appropriately at a boutique tailoring establishment in the SOMA / industrial area of San Francisco.
We sprinkled in a couple of executive headshots for their portfolio’s along with some portraiture’s of the duo.
Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:
San Francisco, Calif.

I worked with an amazing high schooler from the east bay who is aspiring to be a fitness and/or model. I think he looks like a fresh Zack Efron ready to steal the spot light!
For those of you who may be aspiring models and want to know what you need to do get your face out there – here are a couple of tips to get you started:
1. Get your portrait taken! Typically, modeling agencies want to see about four different looks, so when booking your shoot try to work in as many different settings, clothing changes etc. And always, ALWAYS be sure to have at ONE strong head shot.
2. Call the agencies in your city or look online to find out when they have open calls as well as the requirements to submit your photos. A couple of San Francisco’s top agencies are Look Talent, Stars Agency, Ford Models- I also recommend contacting casting agencies to help build your modeling resume, check out Blackwell Files.
3. Lucky for aspiring models most agencies are accepting potential model portraits online, which makes it more cost effective for you! If not, print out either a 8×10 head shot or composite card (also referred to as a zed card) to mail/present to the agency.
4. If you’re one of the lucky ones who get called in for an in-person meet - remember to get all the information prior to going. Even if you submitted your portraits online you may need to print and bring them with you!
With that said – check out Patrick, a rising star!
I love doing photo shoots like this one – sexy and tasteful with a splash of fashion and spice. This fashion-meets-sexy shoot is a great way for models to revamp their portfolio, jump start their portfolio or can be a personal gift to yourself or for a loved one! See how beautiful Christina shines in her portraits during our photo shoot!
